Week 11


 

As I had time to think about things over the weekend, I became more dissatisfied with the direction our project was headed. It's just way too boring. As a group we're leaning towards improving student health and the only things we have down as ideas are a student quarantine room in residence halls, increased hand sanitizer dispensers and another health center closer to the majority of campus residence halls. There's just no way we can take this idea and run with it. I expressed my feelings to the group and they responded with agreement. So, we took this time meant to be spent prototyping and we scratched our idea and started new. This time around we decided to emphasize crazy and unique while still staying grounded in terms of applicable use.

Our end-product: a playground for students.


The playground would included classic playground essentials like monkey bars and slides that would engage students athletically. It would also contain a leisure pool, foam pit, track, and healthy eating option to refuel after playing hard. 

The next class we came prepared with our individual prototypes. 

I was very surprised with our prototypes and how cohesive our thought processes were. All our prototypes could fit well together to make a finished product. 

My job was to prototype the diner and menu.
  
My favorite part was the menu because I got to let my inner chef take over. I put a lot of salads, wraps, sandwiches, and smoothies on the menu because no one wants to eat a burger after they've just worked out.
